" Quentin Tarantino, the Hollywood director most carefully linked to Harvey Weinstein, has actually understood for years concerning the producer's claimed misconduct toward ladies and now really feels ashamed he did not take a stronger stand and also quit working with him, he stated in a meeting.

" I recognized sufficient to do more than I did," he stated, mentioning a number of episodes entailing famous starlets. "There was even more to it than just the normal reports, the typical gossip. It had not been secondhand. I recognized he did a couple of these points."

" I wish I had actually taken responsibility of what I heard," he added. "If I had actually done the work I ought to have done after that, I would certainly have had to not deal with him."

Allegations of unwanted sexual advances and also assault by Mr. Weinstein were divulged this month in The New york city Times and The New Yorker, which prompted various other ladies to share their accounts of his supposed abuse, triggered criminal examinations, roiled the home entertainment globe and triggered a social media activity of women from other industries as well as histories informing their tales."

The fact that it has to ‘get safer’ for people to come out about this stuff, shows that we still have a big problem with victim blaming and shaming, and victims and those who know are still vulnerable when they’re trying to do the right thing.

I’m a film tech in New Zealand and I knew Harvery W was a predator from his on set actions.
He took a toxic cloud around him….. and always had 2 deperate starlets trailing him.
I also saw three other US Producers behave the same way.

I totally understand why he kept quiet, his career was on the line and this man could have ended it. He might not have even been held accountable. I think it’s more important to commend the people who come forward than it is to demonize those that remained quiet. You can’t win every fight or stop every injustice, you have to pick your battles and I think everyone is guilty for not always stepping up to be the hero when they have the opportunity.

While shaming Tarentino, I wonder how will Grace react to the women who weighed the pro’s and contra’s and bed the creep anyway and thus got their big breaktrough while their sisters who rebuffed the creep are now working in a starbucks…are they more or less to blame then Tarentino…?

So… he’s sorry (after the fact) that he didn’t say anything when he knew it was going on. I bet Harvey isn’t the only sexual predator he knows about. Let’s see him come forward with that information! Otherwise, his “I should have said something” is meaningless.

this is actually a tough one. my favorite movies are natural born killers, inglorious basterds, django unchained, serenity and cloud atlas (the yellowface controversy is justified, but given the structure of the movie, i can cut them a break). two of them are directed by tarantino, one was written by him. so i’m quite biased towards tarantino.
but he is one of the main forces behind weinstein’s success, i.e. he helped him to get to the position he abused. he should have stopped it, and was one of the few people who were actually powerful enough to do so.
it’s a permanent stain on some of my favorite movies… sad.

Interesting, you’re only required to say something if you’re a man. Don’t hold “wahmen” to the same standards, that’s victim-blaming. Western men to the princesses rescue once again. Save me daddy, you cis-scum.

Come on it’s Ok now women come out with all of the issues and if the men knew they are monsters!!! Come on all of them were victims, and if you think the men were part of the issue remember that women that were raped and molested and get money and a carreer also have the guilty for the follow women. But again all were victims.

Not becuase you are men you are perfect or have a high moral stand, for me it’s to expect more from a men that a women and to me that’s again saying the women are less,
